The Supermodels of the 1970's

Much like the supermodels of the 1960's, the cover girls of the '70s mirrored the changing times. Whether they were breaking down barriers or just shaking things up, each girl left her own footprint on the industry.

Jerry Hall

Jerry Hall left home in Texas at 16-years-old with dreams of being a supermodel. She booked a one way ticket to France and was discovered on a beach in St. Tropez. Within weeks of being discovered, she was being photographed by Helmut Newton and went on to cover 40 major fashion magazines. Hall was also famous for her high profile relationships. She was the girlfriend and muse of Bryan Ferry, then went on to marry Mick Jagger.

Lauren Hutton

Lauren Hutton was a twelfth-generation Southerner and raised in the Florida Everglades. During her late teens, she had stints at New York's Playboy club and Al Hirt's jazz club in New Orleans. She eventually met and impressed Diana Vreeland, who sent her to Richard Avedon. She would go on to book over 25 covers between 1966 and 1975 and pursued a career as an actress, starring across Richard Gere in American Gigilo.
